It's rubbish to look after the ranking in her situation. If she finds back to her shape, she will rise again in the ranking quickly, if not, then she won't...

She has more points to defend in Melbourne and could fall out of the top 200. So she needs definitely some points this year, otherwise she can play 25k tournaments with players like Ozga, Klaschka or Siegemund next year.

yes, you are right, I am actually one who says that to others as well, when they discuss, in this case I just had to defend myself as he attacked me , not the other way round, but if he feels the need now to reply again, he should do that over PM, I am always open for that kind of discussion to explain my view...

Back to Sabine, I just hope that she keeps the faith in herself and that she will stays strong in this hard time!
